Description

Skye is a young woman standing just 5'7 with a lithe and athletic build. She has light fair skin, striking blue hair, and dirty brown eyes that stand in contrast to her brighter features. Her hair is styled in something of a punkish pixie cut, shaved down on the left side of her head and longer on the right side with bangs hanging down in front of her face. Despite her narrow waist and modest chest, Skye tends to come off as something of a tomboy in appearance and mannerisms. Her legs are missing below the knee, forcing her to wear a pair of prosthetic legs.

Personality:
Skye is a fiery and determined individual with no patience for the indecisive and no mercy for those who get in her way. Her temper is severe and Skye has no qualms with getting physical with individuals when she knows she can get away with it. Vindictive and unrelenting in regards to those she hates, Skye's anger stems from personal loss and feelings of being unwanted. Her rage is as much a means of focusing as it is a distraction from her own thoughts and concerns regarding herself and what those around her actually think of her.

Known Features:
Skye has a number of scars on her body due to the rocket crash she survived when she was eight. The scarring mostly goes unseen when she's dressed but covers her stomach, back, and the majority of her remaining legs. What is clearly visible to others is her missing legs and the prosthetic replacements that she wears in order to remain mobile and pilot a mobile suit.

Attire:
Casually Skye wears little of note, often slobing around in jeans, t-shirts, and whatever hoodie or jacket she can pull find on the floor. When in active duty she wears the standard green and brown imperial uniform, albeit with some liberties taken such as rolled up sleeves and a loose collar. When piloting she uses a pilot suit found with her flag, a light blue suit used by the 'Union' from the Anno Domini Era.
History:
Everin Skye was born the daughter of an aspiring scientist in the Beloth Empire's capital city. She grew up raised entirely by her father and never knowing her mother, only being told that she 'ran away' shortly after she was born. From a very early age Skye became incredibly attached to her father. She went everywhere with him to the point she refused to go to school and ended up being taught mostly by her father.

In the capital, Skye's father, Professor Daskin Skye, was the Empire's leading scientist in the push to start revisiting space. He pioneered the rediscovery of lost rocketry technology and fuel production methods through the study and reverse engineering of excavated machines. It wasn't long before he began to build and test rockets, built and produced almost entirely from Imperial produced parts. Eventually it reached the point where a manned trip into orbit was possible and Professor Daskin made a bold move.

He decided to be the one to man the rocket with an eight year old Skye accompanying him. It was a dangerous move, but one born out of necessity in order to quit critics in the capital who doubted the need to return to space at all. Skye was ignorant of the politics behind her father's move however and was overjoyed at the idea of going up into space. The launch of the rocket went off without a hitch and within what seemed like moments Skye could see the Earth below.

That moment was a moment Skye would remember for the rest of her life. Floating, unbound by gravity, looking through a port window with her father at the Earth below as their rocket carefully navigated a debris field. It was a happy moment...that was until something stuck the rocket. After that everything became a blur. Skye was strapped into her chair, the rocket shook, and suddenly gravity took hold once more as the plummeted towards earth with holes blasted clean through them.

As they fell Skye caught sight of something above them as they dropped. A mobile suit which fired down on them even as they fell back towards Earth.

Despite her father's reassurances the rocket careened wildly out of control, rapidly building up speed and catching aflame. By the time her father was able to eject the front nose portion of the rocket, it was too late. The impact caused Skye to black out immediately as they hit solid ground.

A week later Skye awoke from her injuries to find herself hospitalized and her legs missing. Delirious with pain and drugged out of her mind, Skye was still able to comprehend the doctors when she was informed her legs had been destroyed in the crash and that her father had been killed on impact. For the better part of a year Skye remained in the hospital, healing and undergoing brutal physical therapy in an effort to rehabilitate her injuries and learn to walk using a pair of clunky prosthetics.

Upon being deemed (at least physically) well enough to leave the hospital Skye was released into the custody of the state as she had no living relatives left to take care of her and she was regarded as knowing vital state secrets. Alone and emotionally broken due to the loss of her father and the traumatic loss of her legs, Skye was completely lost up until she was ten years old. An old friend of her father, George Eltz, spoke with Skye one day and during their conversation the idea of joining the military was planted into Skye's head.

Soon it was all Skye could think about, longing to travel back into space and slaughter the ones responsible for what had happened to her. At just ten years old Skye began to physically and mentally prepare herself for joining the military through any means she could conceive of. After just four years Skye was able to sign up at just 14 years old thanks to strings pulled by George Eltz.

Upon completing basic training, Skye quickly found herself selected to be the focus of propaganda by the Beloth Empire's higher ups. "Daughter of famous scientist killed in space aggressor attack joins military to seek revenge with no legs!". It was seen as a golden opportunity to demonize their enemies in space and build up the Empire's image as a righteous force. It wasn't long before Sky found herself sequestered from her peers and given special treatment. However Skye wasn't ignorant that she was just being used and how the military intended her to be nothing but a mouth piece.

Refusing to be 'just for show', Skye began to abuse her special privilege's in order to get ahold of a mobile suit. She acquired a the SVMS-01AP Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard Type that her father had intended to use years prior for rocket experiments. A suit intended for use in space was seen as no real danger for the crippled girl to have and a propaganda film was planned where she would use the suit to defeat false enemies.

However Skye made off with the Flag and broke for the border where she knew a group of seditious nomadic raiders had been causing trouble. Locating their camp during a heavy rainfall, Skye attacked and engaged five nomadic mobile suits in armed combat. By the time her 'handlers' arrived, they found the camp leveled and the five enemy mobile suits splayed out on the ground at the feet of Skye's unit. Though she did not come out unscathed, Skye had turned what was originally meant to be a lie for propaganda into a true story. With a single bold action she had proven her point: She was more then capable of matching any claims the Empire wanted to make about her.

Over the new three years Skye would rapidly make her way up the ranks of the Imperial military. Twisting the plans of her superiors and using them to destroy threat after threat to the Empire, proving herself time and again with an increasing bodycount and wild feats of piloting. At the age of 18 she was already at the rank of Carius, with a promotion for her in the near future.

Despite everything however Skye was left unsatisfied. She was still regarded by ire or as a joke by the majority of the military, with many regarding her otherwise real feats as nothing more then lies cooked up for propaganda. Things seemed to change for the better when Skye was reassigned to a new unit, one focused on a new space offensive against the filthy colonial powers above them...

Skills:
Skye is an incredibly skilled mobile suit pilot with a high g-force tolerance and focus on maneuverability. Preferring high speed and high mobility units, she can quickly close distance and overwhelm targets with close quarters melee attacks and medium ranged bombardments. She excels at remaining mobile even in dangerous or borderline unnavigable terrain, displaying a fearlessness bordering in suicidal foolishness, never blinking when it comes to a challenge. On the ground she is a competent soldier and still physically capable despite missing her legs.
Items:

• Double-Barreled Pistol: A high-caliber, double barreled pistol chambered for the standard rifle round used by the Empire. Though not standard issue and having only two shots, the weapon works in space and is more deadly and accurate then the pistol-caliber sidearm carried by other pilots.
• Union Pilot Suit: An Anno Domini Era pilot suit found with the Flag her father excavated. It has been used by her for some time and has become quite comfortable to wear.

SVMS-01AP Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard Type

Standing Mode

Limited Production Transformable Colony Patrol Mobile Suit

Everin Skye

Unit Appearance

The SVMS-01AP Union Flag is a tall and slender mobile suit, with narrow limbs and a lithe waist where a drum cockpit sits. It's exterior is sleek and deliberately streamlined, with even it's head having a slanted and sleeked back appearance with two ear-like protrusions steaking backwards. Possessing a red mono-eye optic and gold-colored panels on its face, the Flag has a striking appearance. The Colony Guard Type Flag has a large, semi-tubular shaped booster fitted to its rear and a half-circle shaped module fitted to its back with a pair of short linear rifles sticking past its shoulder. Being a transformable mobile suit its body can fold up into a longer, more compact form. The Colony Guard Type Flag's transformation resembles a space-craft with a booster extending out the rear and it's legs folded forward, the manipulators at the end of its feet folding outwards to give an almost predatory appearance. This unit is painted a dark blue color.

Technical Details

Accommodation: Pilot Only, Drum cockpit in waist.
Dimensions: 17.9 Meters all (19.9 meters long in cruise mode)
Powerplant: Solar Energy Receiver + Battery
Equipment and Design Features:
•Transformation Mechanism
The Union Flag line of mobile suits all have some sort of transformation mechanism to them, with a few exceptions. The Union Flag Colony Guard Type is capable of entering into a Cruising mode where it's body folds forward, it's arms and legs tuck into its body, and its head retracts down into its torso. In this form it's Crossfire rifle is affixed to the front and it assumes a fighter-like form with greatly heightened acceleration and a longer, more slender profile better suited for navigating debris fields. While its mobility is lower in this form its better able to chase down or escape from enemies due to its superior speed.

It can also enter a 'Raptor Position' where it's head raises up and it's legs swing forward to serve as arms, with the bottom of the feet modified to open up into large claw-like manipulators. This form retains the superior speed of the cruising form but with increased melee capabilities, allowing it to charge at enemies, grab hold of them, and pull them along as it fires into them or slams them back first into space debris.

•Backpack and Booster
Fitted to the back of the Colony Guard Type where the Flag's Flight Unit would normally be, is a backpack fitted with weapons and installed with a batter expansion and power condensers for the weapons. This backpack helps to amplify the power of the Flag by adding additional weapons. Mounted on the rear of the Flag is a large two-thruster booster capable of tremendous output. This booster was designed to be easily swapped out for larger, or different models of booster, which has made working on the Colony Guard Type Flag much easier for the Beloth Empire.

•E-Carbon Armor
An advanced material from the Anno Domini era. Instead of iron, or some form of advance alloy, the Flag is made up almost entirely from an incredibly strong form of carbon constructed from carbon nanotubes. This makes it lighter and more durable then a mobile suit made of conventional steels or titanium, making it better suited towards flight and mobility. On top of this the E-Carbon that makes up the Flag is capable of storing the hydrogen molecules it uses for fuel, eliminating the need for a dedicated (and volatile) fuel tank.

•Solar Energy Receiver
Instead of a fusion reactor, the Flag runs off of energy wirelessly transmitted to it. Originally this was from the orbital elevators in the Anno Domini Era, which collected clean solar energy and transmitted it to the world. Despite the lack of orbital elevators or a clear transmission point, mobile suits with Solar Energy Receivers still receive power from an untraceable location. While not as powerful as a reactor, its far lighter, less volatile, and does emit disruptive particles. A high capacity battery is also present in the unit, allowing it to operate should it somehow lose its reciever or end up unable to recieve power.

Weapons and Combat Capabilities

Handheld Armaments

•MLR-04 "Crossfire" 200mm Linear Rifle
The production version of a once experimental 200mm Linear Rifle from the Anno Domini Era. Linear Rifles are magnetic weapons that propel solid rounds at tremendous speeds using magnetic rails lining the inside of the barrel. With no need to eject casings or deal with combustion gases, the weapon is incredibly reliable and adaptable. The MLR-04 Crossfire sacrifices a high rate of fire for more powerful shots, firing off larger, more accurate, and more penetrating rounds with greater range then an average handheld linear rifle. This leaves it only capable of firing in a semi-automatic like fashion

•Sonic Blade (Plasma Sword) x2
A pair of knives with blades made of reinforced E-Carbon. Mechanisms in the handle oscillate the blades at high frequencies, enhancing their cutting capabilities over conventional melee weapons. Plasma can also be focused around the physical blade, allowing for an elongated 'blade' of plasma that allows the Sonic Blade to become a Plasma Sword. A plasma sword has greater cutting power, but only has enough energy to be used for 3 minutes at full power. In this state it can clash with beam sabers and, due to not being a 'beam' weapon, deal significant damage to nanolaminate armor and other beam-focused defenses. They are stored, folded up, inside the forearms of the flag and deployed when needed.

Fixed Armaments

•60mm Internal Linear Cannon x2
Mounted in the backpack and flanking both sides of the Flag's head are a pair of 60mm Internal Linear Cannons. While possessing more power then a traditional pair of 60mm Vulcans, they still aren't particularly capable in piercing the armor of most conventional mobile suits. This makes them better suited for shooting down projectiles or targeting the more vulnerable parts on an enemy such as their optics. Due to the placement of the cannons however they can only be used in the Flag's humanoid form as parts of the transformation block the barrels.

•120mm Short Linear Cannon x2
Connected to the backpack of the Colony Guard Type Flag are a pair of 120mm Linear Cannons with shortened barrels. They are lined up with the Flag's shoulders and extend slightly past them. Due to being fed by the extra condenser and battery in the backpack, the 120mm Linear Cannons have a high rate of fire. Though their accuracy is limited due to their shortened barrels and their firepower is only moderate compared to the Crossfire Rifle, their rapid firing nature helps to balance out the weapon selection of the Colony Guard Type Flag. Allowing it to spray gunfire as it flies at high speeds towards targets.

•2-Tube Rocket Launcher Pack x2
Fitted to the legs of the Flag are a pair of fixed 2-tube rocket launchers. While unguided and inaccurate compared to missiles, rockets aren't effected by particle interference from Minovsky, Ahab, and other such reactors. The lack of a guidance system allows for more room for explosive payloaded giving them greater damage then missiles. The simple nature of the rockets also allows them to be more easily produced and replaced by the Empire. With only 2 rockets a launcher, the pilot typically saves them for important targets or dire moments.

•Linear Spear x2
Mounted in feet of the unit are a pair of what amount to linear piledrivers. Short, razor sharp stakes driven outwards by magnetic force. This allows the unit to firmly plant itself on the ground, or while transformed and using its legs as manipulators, grab hold of enemy units and fire the Linear Spears into them to penetrate their armor and deal damage. While powerful the linear spears can only really be used at point-blank range.

Strengths and Weaknesses

The SVMS-01AP Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard Type is a dedicated space mobile suit with high speed, high mobility, and an assortment of weapons that make it well suited for assaults. Its transformation mechanisms give it an edge in the debris littered atmosphere, allowing it to better maneuver and navigate through harsh space terrain while in combat. Equally as capable from a distance as it is in melee, the Colony Guard Type is an ideal unit to be launching into space.

However the Flag isn't particularly well armored and though protected well enough from physical projectiles, its beam defenses are lacking and the Colony Guard Type lacks the Defense Rod found on other Flag Models. It also cannot use beam weapons or weapons requiring a lot of power from the reactor of the unit, as the Flag only has an Solar Energy Receiver to power it. The Flag is also mostly designed to work on Space, requiring additional parts and modifications in order to work properly under gravity.

Technical History

Produced in the Anno Domini Era, the SVMS-01AP Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard Type was a limited production variant of the "Astro Work Type" Flag used mainly in space at the time to work on colonies. The Astro Work Type was seen as inadequate for defense and defeating well equipped enemies, a more combat capable variant was produced.

This variant was used primarily to guard colonies and patrol the resource asteroid fields that often surrounded them. Capable of transforming into a faster Cruise Mode, and a more melee capable 'Raptor Mode', the Colony Guard Type Flag proved to be an elegant and adept mobile suit for its task. Though it was quickly outshined and forgotten due to the rise of more powerful, far more advanced mobile suits that rose up during the conflicts of the time period.

One particular Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard Type was found by Professor Daskin Skye during excavation work for the Empire. He stored the Flag in his laboratory and studied it to assist with his rocket research. The Professor had plans to eventually fix the Colony Guard Type to the nose of a rocket and launch it into space to test military ascension rockets he planned to design. However the Professor was killed in an incident before any plans could be attempted.

The Colony Guard Type Flag was left collecting dust in his lab until years later his daughter, Everin Skye, managed to have the Flag transferred to her ownership. Using the Flag she ditched an assignment to film a propaganda movie using the suit and instead used it to attack an armed nomadic tribe near the border that had been causing problems. Despite the issues of using a Space Type suit on the Earth, Skye managed to destroy the armed nomads and defeat five mobile suits.

From that point forward the Flag became Skye's personal unit, seeing modifications to work under gravity and allowing her to reek havoc on various troublesome enemies of the Empire. It is now primed and set to be launched into space with Skye's transfer to the Empire's new space aggressor force.

Connected to the backpack of the Colony Guard Type Flag are a pair of 120mm Linear Cannons with shortened barrels. They are lined up with the Flag's shoulders and extend slightly past them. Due to being fed by the extra condenser and battery in the backpack, the 120mm Linear Cannons have a high rate of fire. Though their accuracy is limited due to their shortened barrels and their firepower is only moderate compared to the Crossfire Rifle, their rapid firing nature helps to balance out the weapon selection of the Colony Guard Type Flag. Allowing it to spray gunfire as it flies at high speeds towards targets.

•2-Tube Rocket Launcher Pack x2
Fitted to the legs of the Flag are a pair of fixed 2-tube rocket launchers. While unguided and inaccurate compared to missiles, rockets aren't effected by particle interference from Minovsky, Ahab, and other such reactors. The lack of a guidance system allows for more room for explosive payloaded giving them greater damage then missiles. The simple nature of the rockets also allows them to be more easily produced and replaced by the Empire. With only 2 rockets a launcher, the pilot typically saves them for important targets or dire moments.

•Linear Spear x2
Mounted in feet of the unit are a pair of what amount to linear piledrivers. Short, razor sharp stakes driven outwards by magnetic force. This allows the unit to firmly plant itself on the ground, or while transformed and using its legs as manipulators, grab hold of enemy units and fire the Linear Spears into them to penetrate their armor and deal damage. While powerful the linear spears can only really be used at point-blank range.

Strengths and Weaknesses

The SVMS-01AP Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard Type is a dedicated space mobile suit with high speed, high mobility, and an assortment of weapons that make it well suited for assaults. Its transformation mechanisms give it an edge in the debris littered atmosphere, allowing it to better maneuver and navigate through harsh space terrain while in combat. Equally as capable from a distance as it is in melee, the Colony Guard Type is an ideal unit to be launching into space.

However the Flag isn't particularly well armored and though protected well enough from physical projectiles, its beam defenses are lacking and the Colony Guard Type lacks the Defense Rod found on other Flag Models. It also cannot use beam weapons or weapons requiring a lot of power from the reactor of the unit, as the Flag only has an Solar Energy Receiver to power it. The Flag is also mostly designed to work on Space, requiring additional parts and modifications in order to work properly under gravity.

Technical History

Produced in the Anno Domini Era, the SVMS-01AP Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard Type was a limited production variant of the "Astro Work Type" Flag used mainly in space at the time to work on colonies. The Astro Work Type was seen as inadequate for defense and defeating well equipped enemies, a more combat capable variant was produced.

This variant was used primarily to guard colonies and patrol the resource asteroid fields that often surrounded them. Capable of transforming into a faster Cruise Mode, and a more melee capable 'Raptor Mode', the Colony Guard Type Flag proved to be an elegant and adept mobile suit for its task. Though it was quickly outshined and forgotten due to the rise of more powerful, far more advanced mobile suits that rose up during the conflicts of the time period.

One particular Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard Type was found by Professor Daskin Skye during excavation work for the Empire. He stored the Flag in his laboratory and studied it to assist with his rocket research. The Professor had plans to eventually fix the Colony Guard Type to the nose of a rocket and launch it into space to test military ascension rockets he planned to design. However the Professor was killed in an incident before any plans could be attempted.

The Colony Guard Type Flag was left collecting dust in his lab until years later his daughter, Everin Skye, managed to have the Flag transferred to her ownership. Using the Flag she ditched an assignment to film a propaganda movie using the suit and instead used it to attack an armed nomadic tribe near the border that had been causing problems. Despite the issues of using a Space Type suit on the Earth, Skye managed to destroy the armed nomads and defeat five mobile suits.

From that point forward the Flag became Skye's personal unit, seeing modifications to work under gravity and allowing her to reek havoc on various troublesome enemies of the Empire. It is now primed and set to be launched into space with Skye's transfer to the Empire's new space aggressor force.

Description

Skye is a young woman standing just 5'7 with a lithe and athletic build. She has light fair skin, striking blue hair, and dirty brown eyes that stand in contrast to her brighter features. Her hair is styled in something of a punkish pixie cut, shaved down on the left side of her head and longer on the right side with bangs hanging down in front of her face. Despite her narrow waist and modest chest, Skye tends to come off as something of a tomboy in appearance and mannerisms. Her legs are missing below the knee, forcing her to wear a pair of prosthetic legs.

Personality:
Skye is a fiery and determined individual with no patience for the indecisive and no mercy for those who get in her way. Her temper is severe and Skye has no qualms with getting physical with individuals when she knows she can get away with it. Vindictive and unrelenting in regards to those she hates, Skye's anger stems from personal loss and feelings of being unwanted. Her rage is as much a means of focusing as it is a distraction from her own thoughts and concerns regarding herself and what those around her actually think of her.

Known Features:
Skye has a number of scars on her body due to the rocket crash she survived when she was eight. The scarring mostly goes unseen when she's dressed but covers her stomach, back, and the majority of her remaining legs. What is clearly visible to others is her missing legs and the prosthetic replacements that she wears in order to remain mobile and pilot a mobile suit.

Attire:
Casually Skye wears little of note, often slobing around in jeans, t-shirts, and whatever hoodie or jacket she can pull find on the floor. When in active duty she wears the standard green and brown imperial uniform, albeit with some liberties taken such as rolled up sleeves and a loose collar. When piloting she uses a pilot suit found with her flag, a light blue suit used by the 'Union' from the Anno Domini Era.
History:
Everin Skye was born the daughter of an aspiring scientist in the Beloth Empire's capital city. She grew up raised entirely by her father and never knowing her mother, only being told that she 'ran away' shortly after she was born. From a very early age Skye became incredibly attached to her father. She went everywhere with him to the point she refused to go to school and ended up being taught mostly by her father.

In the capital, Skye's father, Professor Daskin Skye, was the Empire's leading scientist in the push to start revisiting space. He pioneered the rediscovery of lost rocketry technology and fuel production methods through the study and reverse engineering of excavated machines. It wasn't long before he began to build and test rockets, built and produced almost entirely from Imperial produced parts. Eventually it reached the point where a manned trip into orbit was possible and Professor Daskin made a bold move.

He decided to be the one to man the rocket with an eight year old Skye accompanying him. It was a dangerous move, but one born out of necessity in order to quit critics in the capital who doubted the need to return to space at all. Skye was ignorant of the politics behind her father's move however and was overjoyed at the idea of going up into space. The launch of the rocket went off without a hitch and within what seemed like moments Skye could see the Earth below.

That moment was a moment Skye would remember for the rest of her life. Floating, unbound by gravity, looking through a port window with her father at the Earth below as their rocket carefully navigated a debris field. It was a happy moment...that was until something stuck the rocket. After that everything became a blur. Skye was strapped into her chair, the rocket shook, and suddenly gravity took hold once more as the plummeted towards earth with holes blasted clean through them.

As they fell Skye caught sight of something above them as they dropped. A mobile suit which fired down on them even as they fell back towards Earth.

Despite her father's reassurances the rocket careened wildly out of control, rapidly building up speed and catching aflame. By the time her father was able to eject the front nose portion of the rocket, it was too late. The impact caused Skye to black out immediately as they hit solid ground.

A week later Skye awoke from her injuries to find herself hospitalized and her legs missing. Delirious with pain and drugged out of her mind, Skye was still able to comprehend the doctors when she was informed her legs had been destroyed in the crash and that her father had been killed on impact. For the better part of a year Skye remained in the hospital, healing and undergoing brutal physical therapy in an effort to rehabilitate her injuries and learn to walk using a pair of clunky prosthetics.

Upon being deemed (at least physically) well enough to leave the hospital Skye was released into the custody of the state as she had no living relatives left to take care of her and she was regarded as knowing vital state secrets. Alone and emotionally broken due to the loss of her father and the traumatic loss of her legs, Skye was completely lost up until she was ten years old. An old friend of her father, George Eltz, spoke with Skye one day and during their conversation the idea of joining the military was planted into Skye's head.

Soon it was all Skye could think about, longing to travel back into space and slaughter the ones responsible for what had happened to her. At just ten years old Skye began to physically and mentally prepare herself for joining the military through any means she could conceive of. After just four years Skye was able to sign up at just 14 years old thanks to strings pulled by George Eltz.

Upon completing basic training, Skye quickly found herself selected to be the focus of propaganda by the Beloth Empire's higher ups. "Daughter of famous scientist killed in space aggressor attack joins military to seek revenge with no legs!". It was seen as a golden opportunity to demonize their enemies in space and build up the Empire's image as a righteous force. It wasn't long before Sky found herself sequestered from her peers and given special treatment. However Skye wasn't ignorant that she was just being used and how the military intended her to be nothing but a mouth piece.

Refusing to be 'just for show', Skye began to abuse her special privilege's in order to get ahold of a mobile suit. She acquired a the SVMS-01AP Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard Type that her father had intended to use years prior for rocket experiments. A suit intended for use in space was seen as no real danger for the crippled girl to have and a propaganda film was planned where she would use the suit to defeat false enemies.

However Skye made off with the Flag and broke for the border where she knew a group of seditious nomadic raiders had been causing trouble. Locating their camp during a heavy rainfall, Skye attacked and engaged five nomadic mobile suits in armed combat. By the time her 'handlers' arrived, they found the camp leveled and the five enemy mobile suits splayed out on the ground at the feet of Skye's unit. Though she did not come out unscathed, Skye had turned what was originally meant to be a lie for propaganda into a true story. With a single bold action she had proven her point: She was more then capable of matching any claims the Empire wanted to make about her.

Over the new three years Skye would rapidly make her way up the ranks of the Imperial military. Twisting the plans of her superiors and using them to destroy threat after threat to the Empire, proving herself time and again with an increasing bodycount and wild feats of piloting. At the age of 18 she was already at the rank of Carius, with a promotion for her in the near future.

Despite everything however Skye was left unsatisfied. She was still regarded by ire or as a joke by the majority of the military, with many regarding her otherwise real feats as nothing more then lies cooked up for propaganda. Things seemed to change for the better when Skye was reassigned to a new unit, one focused on a new space offensive against the filthy colonial powers above them...

Skills:
Skye is an incredibly skilled mobile suit pilot with a high g-force tolerance and focus on maneuverability. Preferring high speed and high mobility units, she can quickly close distance and overwhelm targets with close quarters melee attacks and medium ranged bombardments. She excels at remaining mobile even in dangerous or borderline unnavigable terrain, displaying a fearlessness bordering in suicidal foolishness, never blinking when it comes to a challenge. On the ground she is a competent soldier and still physically capable despite missing her legs.
Items:

• Double-Barreled Pistol: A high-caliber, double barreled pistol chambered for the standard rifle round used by the Empire. Though not standard issue and having only two shots, the weapon works in space and is more deadly and accurate then the pistol-caliber sidearm carried by other pilots.
• Union Pilot Suit: An Anno Domini Era pilot suit found with the Flag her father excavated. It has been used by her for some time and has become quite comfortable to wear.
• SVMS-01AP Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard Type
• Tickets: Gold [0], Silver [0], Copper [0]

SVMS-01AP Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard Type

Standing Mode

Limited Production Transformable Colony Patrol Mobile Suit

Everin Skye

Unit Appearance

The SVMS-01AP Union Flag is a tall and slender mobile suit, with narrow limbs and a lithe waist where a drum cockpit sits. It's exterior is sleek and deliberately streamlined, with even it's head having a slanted and sleeked back appearance with two ear-like protrusions steaking backwards. Possessing a red mono-eye optic and gold-colored panels on its face, the Flag has a striking appearance. The Colony Guard Type Flag has a large, semi-tubular shaped booster fitted to its rear and a half-circle shaped module fitted to its back with a pair of short linear rifles sticking past its shoulder. Being a transformable mobile suit its body can fold up into a longer, more compact form. The Colony Guard Type Flag's transformation resembles a space-craft with a booster extending out the rear and it's legs folded forward, the manipulators at the end of its feet folding outwards to give an almost predatory appearance. This unit is painted a dark blue color.

Technical Details

Accommodation: Pilot Only, Drum cockpit in waist.
Dimensions: 17.9 Meters all (19.9 meters long in cruise mode)
Powerplant: Solar Energy Receiver
Equipment and Design Features:
•Transformation Mechanism
The Union Flag line of mobile suits all have some sort of transformation mechanism to them, with a few exceptions. The Union Flag Colony Guard Type is capable of entering into a Cruising mode where it's body folds forward, it's arms and legs tuck into its body, and its head retracts down into its torso. In this form it's Crossfire rifle is affixed to the front and it assumes a fighter-like form with greatly heightened acceleration and a longer, more slender profile better suited for navigating debris fields. While its mobility is lower in this form its better able to chase down or escape from enemies due to its superior speed.

It can also enter a 'Raptor Position' where it's head raises up and it's legs swing forward to serve as arms, with the bottom of the feet modified to open up into large claw-like manipulators. This form retains the superior speed of the cruising form but with increased melee capabilities, allowing it to charge at enemies, grab hold of them, and pull them along as it fires into them or slams them back first into space debris.

•Backpack and Booster
Fitted to the back of the Colony Guard Type where the Flag's Flight Unit would normally be, is a backpack fitted with weapons and installed with a batter expansion and power condensers for the weapons. This backpack helps to amplify the power of the Flag by adding additional weapons. Mounted on the rear of the Flag is a large two-thruster booster capable of tremendous output. This booster was designed to be easily swapped out for larger, or different models of booster, which has made working on the Colony Guard Type Flag much easier for the Beloth Empire.

•E-Carbon Armor
An advanced material from the Anno Domini era. Instead of iron, or some form of advance alloy, the Flag is made up almost entirely from an incredibly strong form of carbon constructed from carbon nanotubes. This makes it lighter and more durable then a mobile suit made of conventional steels or titanium, making it better suited towards flight and mobility. On top of this the E-Carbon that makes up the Flag is capable of storing the hydrogen molecules it uses for fuel, eliminating the need for a dedicated (and volatile) fuel tank.

•Solar Energy Receiver
Instead of a fusion reactor, the Flag runs off of energy wirelessly transmitted to it. Originally this was from the orbital elevators in the Anno Domini Era, which collected clean solar energy and transmitted it to the world. Despite the lack of orbital elevators or a clear transmission point, mobile suits with Solar Energy Receivers still receive power from an untraceable location. While not as powerful as a reactor, its far lighter, less volatile, and does emit disruptive particles.

Weapons and Combat Capabilities

Handheld Armaments

•MLR-04 "Crossfire" 200mm Linear Rifle
The production version of a once experimental 200mm Linear Rifle from the Anno Domini Era. Linear Rifles are magnetic weapons that propel solid rounds at tremendous speeds using magnetic rails lining the inside of the barrel. With no need to eject casings or deal with combustion gases, the weapon is incredibly reliable and adaptable. The MLR-04 Crossfire sacrifices a high rate of fire for more powerful shots, firing off larger, more accurate, and more penetrating rounds with greater range then an average handheld linear rifle. This leaves it only capable of firing in a semi-automatic like fashion

•Sonic Blade (Plasma Sword) x2
A pair of knives with blades made of reinforced E-Carbon. Mechanisms in the handle oscillate the blades at high frequencies, enhancing their cutting capabilities over conventional melee weapons. Plasma can also be focused around the physical blade, allowing for an elongated 'blade' of plasma that allows the Sonic Blade to become a Plasma Sword. A plasma sword has greater cutting power, but only has enough energy to be used for 3 minutes at full power. In this state it can clash with beam sabers and, due to not being a 'beam' weapon, deal significant damage to nanolaminate armor and other beam-focused defenses. They are stored, folded up, inside the forearms of the flag and deployed when needed.

Fixed Armaments

•60mm Internal Linear Cannon x2
Mounted in the backpack and flanking both sides of the Flag's head are a pair of 60mm Internal Linear Cannons. While possessing more power then a traditional pair of 60mm Vulcans, they still aren't particularly capable in piercing the armor of most conventional mobile suits. This makes them better suited for shooting down projectiles or targeting the more vulnerable parts on an enemy such as their optics. Due to the placement of the cannons however they can only be used in the Flag's humanoid form as parts of the transformation block the barrels.

•120mm Short Linear Cannon x2
Connected to the backpack of the Colony Guard Type Flag are a pair of 120mm Linear Cannons with shortened barrels. They are lined up with the Flag's shoulders and extend slightly past them. Due to being fed by the extra condenser and battery in the backpack, the 120mm Linear Cannons have a high rate of fire. Though their accuracy is limited due to their shortened barrels and their firepower is only moderate compared to the Crossfire Rifle, their rapid firing nature helps to balance out the weapon selection of the Colony Guard Type Flag. Allowing it to spray gunfire as it flies at high speeds towards targets.

•2-Tube Rocket Launcher Pack x2
Fitted to the legs of the Flag are a pair of fixed 2-tube rocket launchers. While unguided and inaccurate compared to missiles, rockets aren't effected by particle interference from Minovsky, Ahab, and other such reactors. The lack of a guidance system allows for more room for explosive payloaded giving them greater damage then missiles. The simple nature of the rockets also allows them to be more easily produced and replaced by the Empire. With only 2 rockets a launcher, the pilot typically saves them for important targets or dire moments.

•Linear Spear x2
Mounted in feet of the unit are a pair of what amount to linear piledrivers. Short, razor sharp stakes driven outwards by magnetic force. This allows the unit to firmly plant itself on the ground, or while transformed and using its legs as manipulators, grab hold of enemy units and fire the Linear Spears into them to penetrate their armor and deal damage. While powerful the linear spears can only really be used at point-blank range.

"I DID IT!" Brown shouted as she slid to a stop at the bottom of the slope not far from where the group was, a waist high trench melted clean through the antarctic snow and ice. Steam continued to steadily rise from her flushed pale skin as she threw her arms towards the sky. She let out another victorious cheer up at the frost glazed clouds before turning to confirm that she had beat Askin and Aline by a fairly wide margin through the snow.

"I got to the bottom first! I am the winner! All that training to learn this technique was worth it!" Brown cheered, smiling as she looked to Aline and Askin.

It was ridiculous to flaunt a victory in something so spontaneous and childish as racing down a hill

And on some level Brown knew that.

But any victory, any success was precious to Brown. Her newfound desire to further impress Aline, and the idea of impressing others pushed her to find victory and boast in the few places she could.

Finally with the group Brown quickly waded over to them. As she did however she witnessed Jaden's appearance and heard at least some of what he said. A deep sense of irritation arose within Brown at the rappers smarmy words. His visible sense of self confidence quickly rubbed against Brown's still-bruised ego like sandpaper against the surface of a half-deflated party balloon.

Doing her best to avoid looking at Jaden, Brown made it a point to further stop on the broken remains of his CDs before sliding into position besides Jonas.

"Don't worry Jonas! If the ninja tries anything I'll just kill him." Brown announced cheerfuly as she began walking alongside the doctor, leaning into his field of vision to show off that she was in fact fine and had totally landed without any help from the parachute he insisted she wear.

"My mom told me that Ninja were actually pretty trustworthy a long time ago. It was Samurai and Ronin that were the lying backstabbers. However Jaden's an asshole. So I guess he's being honest in that we shouldn't trust him? I think?"

Brown actually stopped momentarily in her walk, gears turning in her head as she tried to process the strange logic she presented. Quickly abandoning her attempt at rational deduction Brown quickly caught back up with the others, all but throwing herself before the collective group as they walked. She in particular focused on Isko and Jonas as she put her hands on her hips and stood confidently in the freezing snow.

"Plan? The plan is this: We find this robot-guy and we kill him! Why bother with that tower? All this is happening because of the Robot-guy, right? And there's only one of him. He might have more robots around but if that's all he has then he's no match for us! Though I know for a fact I'll be the one who will take him down. I developed a new special technique just for killing robots. And I don't even go blind anymore when I do it!"

"Wah! So BORED!"

A few mere minutes had passed away and already Parsnip could feel the high from killing the MAVERICK agents on the beach begin to fade. She bounded through the snow, hopping across the frozen wasteland before gradually slowing down as her enthusiasm dimmed. Parsnip had hopped to find even more MAVERICK agents waiting out in the snow or heading towards the tower. Yet she hadn't seen any more since leaving the beach and a growing restlessness and boredom began to well inside her.

"That can't be all there is!" Parsnip exclaimed to the open air, her tone the same as a child learning there were in fact no more cookies in the cookie jar.

"I can't even make a snow angel because this stupid snow is too stiff. And I can't very well have a snowball fight alone..."

That thought made Parsnip visibly wince and she felt a familiar pull from the back of her mind against. Grasping her face Parsnip breathed heavily, her eyes darting around the desolate landship in a desperate search for something to distract her. Where her eyes failed her however here ears did not.

Behind her, towards the beach, Parsnip heard the heated sputtering explosion of what she could only assume was some kind of small machine taking flight. It was difficult to tell the distance, but Parsnip could tell it was fast and moving in the same general direction she was, towards the weird looking tower off in the distance.

The noise that came after that however excited her more.

Boat engines. The sounds of boots and distant speaking.

Parsnip's maimed and unmaimed bunny ears turned and flicked atop her head like radial antenna as she began to bounce up in down on the spot.

"Yes, yes! There are more! More coming for me perhaps?"

Parsnip stopped at that thought and put a hand to her chin Disappointed she didn't have her play-detective hat with her, the bunny girl thought for a few moments as she mulled over her predicament.

"I came all the way here to have fun and make those awful, disgusting MAVERICK agents pay. But after I kill them all its going to be hard to get back and its going to be SUPER boring after I kill all them. At the same time that tower in the distance looks kind of neat and I wonder what that flying thing might be. If only I could kill MAVERICK agents AND go to the cool place, or at least closer to it."

The rabbit girl pondered heavily for a few seconds before a light bulb went off in her brain. A wide grin slashed across her scarred face as she unzipped her backpack and reached inside with wiggling, eager fingers.

"If you want to play somewhere specific, leave a note for your friends~"

Out of her backpack came the freshly severed limb of one of the MAVERICK agents she had killed on the beach. Parsnip hadn't remembered why she had taken it, only that it seemed like a good idea at the time. She had taken the time to put a plastic bag over the severed end of the arm so as not to get the inside of her backpack dirty. Cleaning it was a pain and washing machines were scary, and expensive. Four whole quarters was a lot of money!

Yanking the bag off the end of the arm, blood quickly began to drop from the still warm limb.

Working quickly Parsnip held the hand of the arm and dragged it through the ice and snow like a disgusting pen. The blood from the arm was her ink and every time it seemed to freeze or dry, she'd simply cut the end off a little to get that much more out of it. In a matter of moments she was done and Parsnip stuck the severed arm upright in the snow in front of her message.

COME PLAY WITH ME AT THE TOWER, MAVERICK~ Signed, Parsnip <3

"There! There's no way they can miss this." Parsnip stood in front of the large, scrawling message of blood carved into the antarctic snow and admired it. She felt particularly proud about the crude, but cute looking drawing of (what was supposed to be) herself besides the message.

"Welp, better get hopping! I can't wait for them to catch up with me. Teehee~"

Parsnip once again took off towards the tower, keeping her ears peeled for any other fun or interesting noises...

The sound of a voice from behind prompted Brown to spin on her heel, putting her back to the cliff as she threw up her arms in anticipation for a proper fight. Her fierce expression and blood thirsty smile vanished almost instantly as she looked to see a similar, short ball of sunshine standing close by. Iskp and Aline landed nearby almost immediately after she noticed Askin.

A disappointed grimace flashed across her face and she hunched forward in dismay, dropping her arms to her sides. Brown grit her teeth as she properly heard Askin's question and Isko's mention of her

"Of course I'm still alive!" Brown snapped defensively at Askin before turning to Isko "And of course I didn't use the parachute! A Nomad should be able to land without something like that!"

Brown began to march over towards Askin and Isko, stopping momentarily as she heard Aline speak up. She turned towards the girl with narrow eyes, expecting her to say something snide. However Brown was taken aback when the girl actually complimented her on what she did.

This left Brown totally dumbstruck for a solid minute as she struggled to process what had been said.

"You...you think what I did was cool? I mean, yeah of course it is! Don't worry, the next time we get sucked out of a plane I'll show you how to land without a parachute! After all something as simple as a measly fall isn't going to kill m-"

The scarred girl began to raise her arm in front of her, intending to show Aline a clenched fist of determination of emphasize her resolve. As she attempted to do so however a sharp, audibly painful 'pop' shoulder from her right shoulder and her right arm went completely limp at her side.

Freezing in place and looking down at her arm, Brown once again clenched her teeth. Reaching up she placed her left hand firmly against her shoulder and rolled it. The sound of stale crackers being crushed beneath steel toed boots rang out until another similar sounding 'pop' was heard. Brown then aggressively rolled her shoulder again under its own power before raising and testing her arm. She pulled and bent the arm in ways that seemed ill-advised after the noise her shoulder had made.

As soon as it was apparent her arm was functional Brown looked up at Aline and properly clenched her hand.

"Something as simple as a fall will never kill me, got it? Being a Nomad is all about power! That means not having an excuse to be weak and rely on things or people you don't need. That includes parachutes. Got me?" Brown continued, trying to pretend that nothing had interrupted her.

Brown walked up beside Askin before stopping and looking around. Steam continued to raise from her exposed skin as the effects of Giga Tummo remained active. The snow around her simply melted and she radiated a general warmth in a radius around her, like a living heater.

"Lets just start heading to that tower and find something to fight already. Where is everyone else?" Brown asked Askin, just as another familiar voice rang out from below.

Side stepping over to the edge of a steep hill leading down to the beaches, Brown's eyes narrowed into a glare as she spotted Jonas. He was shouting and waving his hand to catch their attention. Had Brown ever gone to school she might have felt like a child being called by her teacher to return to the group. Letting out a heavy sigh, her breath like a geyser of steam on the open air Brown glanced over to Askin and Aline.

"I bet I can beat the both of you to the bottom of the hill!" She said rather suddenly and leapt forward, running down the icy slope towards the group and headed in the direction of the tower in the distance.

Nomadic Odyssey: Fallen Virtue [Cancelled]

Planes began to drop out of the frigid, cloud choked skies like stones. The brilliant red beam that had surged forth from the icy antarctic interior swept through the formation of jets like a scythe through a field of wheat. The planes that didn't immediately explode from their fuel reaching combustion temperatures either were cut in twain by the beam itself or torn apart by the resulting shock wave.

The few planes left intact were left so only in the most tentative of senses. Wings and entire lengths of fuselage peeled off them as they plummeted downwards, flames and smoke pouring from their engines. Passengers and equipment alike were sucked out into the deathly cold air as cabins depressurized

The planes that were lucky hit the water, crashing into and quickly sinking beneath the crashing icy waves not far from the 'beach'.

Most however struck land. Slamming nose first into the rock hard ice and exploding in screaming balls of fire and steel. Even the successful crash lands broke the planes apart, leaving trails of fire, aluminum, and bodies strewn behind them before they eventually came to a stop.

Brown watched, wind whipping past her face, as the frozen white and blue land below was lit up by flashes of orange and red fire.

She had been, like so many others, sucked out of the plane she had been riding in. Unlike so many others free falling towards the Earth however Brown was excited at her predicament.

The plane ride had been agonizingly boring. So much so Brown had taken a seat near the emergency exit, the large red sign and large warnings all over it tempting her to make a quick exit from the plane at the nearest opportunity.

The doctor, Jonas, however had noticed this. Brown had been saddled with a parachute long before any danger to the planes was apparent.

Anyone else would have considered the parachute a blessing, but Brown barely registered the life saving pack strapped to her back she she shot head forward towards the ground.

Ever since the fight in Rio, Brown had been left to stew. Though she had helped to defeat the giant machine that attacked the stadium...that's all she did. Helped. Her ultimate technique had failed the first time and only reason she could try again was because of another Nomad's pity.

That fact had not left her mind since.

It ate away at her, filling her with a greater sense of weakness and self-hatred then she had felt in years.

Brown had been left with that feeling since Rio, left to stew and ruminate as she healed and traveled with Jonas and the others.

She only boarded the plane because she sensed that she was heading somewhere where she could face a challenge. To once again throw herself into the fray and prove to not only herself, but everyone else, that she was anything but weak.

So as Brown fell, the cold uncaring Earth racing up to crush her, she basked in the thrill of it all.

Because she did not see the scene before her as something to survive.

Brown saw it as a challenge to overcome.

And she was done losing challenges.

Grinning Brown closed her eyes and concentrated. Even as the freezing wind bit at her face and swept through her ragged clothes, Brown focused on her heart rate and 'reached' within side herself. She focused on the mental image of a kettle on a stove. A brilliant heat was beneath the kettle, growing larger and more fierce the longer she concentrated.

"Giga...TUMMO!"

Brown's eyes snapped open, her nostrils flaring as a rush of steam gushed outwards.

Her internal body temperature skyrocketed to the point her skin was giving off steam in the below-zero antarctic

"With my body temperature high enough I should be able to melt clean through the ice on contact. I can hit the ground, melt through, and gradually slow down. I don't need to rely on a parachute. I don't need to rely on anyone. I am powerful! I am capable I am a NOMAD!"

Trailing steam as she dropped Brown spread out her arms, angling herself feet first towards ground.

Brown's heart raced as the ground came closer and closer. Already she could envision her impact, ice liquefying at her touch, her body plunging deep into the ice sheet, her strong arms and legs reaching out to slow her descent...

As she fantasized however Brown began to notice the more subtle color differences of the ground beneath the the closer she got. It wasn't just whites, it was grey, light blues, and blacks. A surprising amount of black colors in fact. Long wide sheets of black carefully hidden beneath the snow. If she didn't know any better those were rocks.

"Rocks?" Brown asked herself the gears in her head turning as realized she was not staring down at an ice sheet...but rather a cliff of solid rock merely covered in ice.

"ROCKS!"

Eyes wide with horror Brown quickly reached up and pulled the cord on here parachute. A long strip of sleek fabric was ripped from the big, wired connected to the backpack pulling taught as the parachute caught the wind. Brown felt herself jerked backwards as the wind resistance began to slow her rapid fall, but the ground was already racing to greet her.

Mere feet from the ground Brown did the only thing she could do and leaned forward. As soon as her feet touched the ice laden stone Brown threw herself forward into a roll. However her shoulder struck the ground first and a distinct inwardscrunch shook through her body.

Bouncing across the ground, the parachute tangling around her body, Brown rolled forward twenty solid feet before coming to a stop.

Several moments passed and Brown remained still on the ground.

Water began to pool around her body as her increased body temperature melted the ice, causing her to sink an entire inch until she was lying on solid stone.

Slowly Brown stirred, pushing herself to her feet and pulling the tangled parachute off her body.

Her right arm hung limply at her side her shoulder sunk downwards at a clearly unnatural height. Despite the grievous injury however there was no expression of pain on Brown's face. Her expression was blank, her eyes as cold as the antarctic ice around her, and her breathing was heavy.

Looking out at the icy wasteland as the others began to land Brown took a single, deep breath.

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Brown threw her head back and screamed.

Pulling her left arm back she smashed a fist into her right shoulder which popped back into place with another disgusting crunch. Wincing as her dislocated shoulder was set back into place, Brown rolled her shoulder experimentally before using both hands to rip the parachute off of her.

Balling up the parachute Brown ran to the edge where the ice dropped off into the see and threw the parachute angrily towards the depths.

Seeing the chute tumble downwards only to be caught in the wind and whisked away did nothing to ease the torrent of emotions inside Brown.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, literally steaming, Brown looked over her shoulder and into the distance where the strange tower stood.

With gritted teeth and clenched fists Brown began to move forward towards the tower. As she did so she glanced around and noticed something odd.

"Didn't someone on the plane say something about MAVERICK reinforcements? There were a bunch in the planes but didn't some come by boat? I thought they were supposed to be here before us..."

---

"Move, move, move!"

The motors of the bright orange inflatable lifeboats died a few feet from the shore, their momentum pushing them through the ice laden water enough for them to reach the frozen beach. As soon as the soft orange tips of the boats touched solid land the MAVERICK agents piled inside began to throw themselves out. At least twenty armed men arrived at the beach, quickly pulling their boats ashore and unloading the supplies they had brought.

Off in the distance a large naval vessel stood, its forward in the air pointed towards the cloud choked sky as it was slowly pulled beneath the waves. A few of the MAVERICK agents and the accompanying soldiers looked over their shoulders, both desperate to forget and curious about just what had split their ship in half with such horrifying ease.

"We don't have time to dick around, finish unloading the supplies and get ready to move! You all saw what just happened to the planes. We could be the only survivors! We're going to move and attack that damned tower in 5 minutes. So move your asses!"

One particular MAVERICK agent, a veteran covered head to toe in thick riot gear, towered over his supposed comrades and barked orders. He stared out from behind the visor of his helmet, hands coiled around his rifle as he looked out into the distance where the metal tower could be seen. None of the other MAVERICK troops were willing to complain with the Veteran looming over them, a large Bowie knife strapped to his shoulder.

One particular MAVERICK agent, farthest from the rest, struggled with a large plastic crate which he quickly dropped into the snow. He groaned, his breath visible like steam in the Antarctic air. Already he couldn't feel his face. Slowly he began to undo the tabs of the supply create, muttering to himself as he did so.

"Ugh, god. I'm almost glad to be outside even if it is cold. The inside of that ship was so cramped!"

"Yeah, its even more cramped in this crate. It's so great to be outside!~"

The soldier lifted the lid just as the voice reached him. Staring down into the crate the MAVERICK agent saw a pink haired girl with rabbit ears. She was sat in the crate where 250 MREs should have been, her knees pulled to her chest and curled up to fit inside.

The girl simply stared up at the soldier from inside the create. Her smile was wide and she actually gave a small wave at the man who had released her. Yet something about her piercing red eyes churned the man's stomach.

"What the actual fuck-"

As soon as the words left his mouth the rabbit girl's eyes seemed to dilate.

He opened his mouth to shout, to announce what he had found to the others, but try as he might no sound would leave his lips.

Blood poured from his throat and down his chest as the girl ripped the knife she had driven into his jugular out.

It had happened so fast the man's body required a moment to feel the pain of the injury. The man stumbled back, hands going to his throat, gurgling and struggling in vain to breath before collapsing onto his back in the snow.

Dead.

By the time the other MAVERICK agents on the beach noticed one of their own on the ground, the rabbit girl had already climbed out of the box.

She stretched her long arms over her head, arching her back and getting a few soft pops as her body as she did so. Dropping her arms she opened her arms and stared down at the beach at the twenty or so armed men turning to face her.

"Oh boy, this is going to be so much fun! Its feels like forever since I got to play with you." The Rabbit exclaimed, drawing a pair of knifes from her rear.

"CONTACT, CONTA-"

Bending her legs Parsnip kicked off the ground, shooting down the beach as if launched out of the cannon.

Arms outstretched Parsnip swung at the MAVERICK agents she passed, who had begun to fire on her previous position.

One. Two. Three. Four. Five.

Her blades swept through the men, meeting no resistance as they effortlessly glided through flesh, bone, and fat.

The Rabbit's momentum slowed and she slid to a stop along the icy ground. The men she had passed erupted in showers of blood, severed arms dropping into the snow and torsos splitting open releasing clouds of steam from their exposed organs.

The MAVERICK agents who had hesitated at the sight of her began to fire in full auto, throwing accuracy away for volume of fire.

The rabbit girl swept her blades through the air as she ran forward. A light blue aura engulfed her blades as she swept them through the air, bullets meant for her sent shooting off to the sides as she swatted them out of the air.

She closed in on a group of the MAVERICK agents, having grouped up and taken cover behind a number of the crates he they were unloading. Continuing to dodge and deflect gunfire she kicked off the ground, flying into the air and arching over the position. As she dropped she sheathed her knives and landed, hands outstretched directly onto one of the more heavily armored MAVERICK agents.

Her landing toppled the man, driving him back first into the snow with a painful grunt.

He opened his eyes, staring through the visor at the almost glowing red eyes of the girl sitting on his chest. The rabbit girl looked at him, then looked down at his chest a massive smile on his face as she grabbed something and leapt backwards.

The man expected the worst, but as the murderous rabbit leapt away from the position he found his life had not been taken.

Just as he leaned up to get to his feet however he heard the clinking of metal against snow and looked down.

His eyes went wide and his heart began to race wildly as he realized the pins on his grenades were missing.

"No, No WAIT-"

The MAVERICK soldier's screams were quickly swallowed as the grenades on his chest exploded. Those beside him were torn apart in the resulting blast and those nearby where hit with a wave of shrapnel as the rocket launcher and ammunition strapped to his body immediately cooked off.

A wave of heat and smoke expanded over the beach and in an instant the MAVERICK agents numbers had been reduced to 2/3rds of what they had been originally.

"Form up on me! Break out your explosives!" The MAVERICK Veteran shouted as he snapped open his own underslung grenade launcher.

Charging out of the smoke the rabbit girl was forced to begin hopping from place to place as grenades detonated all along the beach. Pushing forward proved difficult as the explosions began to cause her sensitive ears to ring and hurt.

However only three MAVERICK agents remained and their output of explosive rounds and grenades wasn't high enough to saturate the entire area in front of them.

Barreling threw the smoke Parsnip closed as much distance as she could before drawing out three small knives from a pouch on her thigh. With a flick of her wrist she threw the short, glinting blades at one of the shoulders.

Seeing her threw the blades the more heavily armored of the three soldiers slid in front of her target, throwing up their thick kevlar padded arms to try and block the knives.

The three throwing knives slipped through their arms, into their torso, and out their their back, gliding through with little to no resisting and cutting clean channels through the man.

All three blades flew out the man's back, burying themselves into the torso of the man he had stepped in front of to protect.

The rabbit girl watched on with real joy on her face as the men collapsed dead to the ground. As she looked over to the last remaining MAVERICK soldier however a loud, bright blast and deafening sound washed over her.
For several moment she couldn't see or hear anything. Just as her vision and hearing began to come back however Parsnip saw the butt stock of a rifle swinging towards her.

Unable to dodge in time the butt of the rifle smashed into her face with full force, throwing her off her feet and onto her back.

"Goddamn rabbit! I didn't think that Oh-One would employ biological monsters in its fucked up little plans!"

The MAVERICK Veteran quickly leveled his rifle at the fallen rabbit girl, finger squeezing the trigger when a combat knife was thrown at him. Throwing up his rifle to guard his face the blade pierced the receiver of his rifle, barely stopped even as it skewered his gun.

Quickly throwing his rifle to the ground the MAVERICK agent drew his pistol, dropped to his knees, and buried his pistol into the forehead of the pink-haired girl.

"And here I thought Oh-One was an abomination, Bio-Weapons like you are the real fucking monsters!"

The man's angry voice boomed into the rabbit girl's face as her vision came back into focus and her ears picked up what he was saying.

"Bio...?"

Suddenly the girl was no longer on the beach. She was standing somewhere familiar. Houses burned around her. Smoke and screams filled the air. She couldn't breath. She couldn't see. Loud noises rang out as armored figures shouted out. Through the smoke she saw a group of men approach, weapons in their hands. As they looked at her a single phrase left their mouth.

"Bio-weapon sighted."

With the sound of a trigger being squeezed she was suddenly on the beach again, the MAVERICK Veteran staring into her eyes.

"You--I REMEMBER YOU!!" Parsnip screamed, her face contorting in anger.

The man pulled the trigger but Parsnip's leg slammed into his groin at the last moment. Pain raced through his body and his arm involuntarily spasmed, firing the bullet into the air.

Pulling a butter knife out of the front of her overalls the girl drove the blade into the man's wrist like a scalpel, opening a vein and severing the muscles the allowed him to grip his pistol.

As soon as the gun left his hands the girl began to strike him.

Her punches didn't seem to phase the heavily armored man but her kicks had more then enough power to hurt him, bruising muscle and breaking bones beneath the layer of protective kevlar.

The Veteran tried to fight back, throwing punches and trying to block her blows. However Parsnip's attacks came too quickly for him to anticipate or counter. She had abandoned any use of blades and continued beat the man, screaming as she pounded into his flesh, savoring ever crack and pained cry from the man until he was forced to his knees at the edge of the water.

"Please, stop- I'm sorry! I recognize you now!"

Parsnip threw up her knee and smashed in the man's visor, grabbing the sides of the man's helmet and forcing him to look at her.

"Oh? Its so nice of you to remember little Parsnip Rabbit!"

Parsnip's voice turned sweet and saccharine even as he expression remained twisted with fury.

Pulling the bowie knife from the man's shoulder sheath Parsnip took a moment to examine the blade.

"Why are you doing this? I was just doing my job!"

"Your. Job. Was. Killing. My. Friends!?!" Parsnip shouted, each word punctuated by a separate stab into the man's shoulder blade.

Teeth clenched Parsnip drove the bowie knife into the man's throat and wrenched it downward. With virtually no effort she parted the man's torso, rib cage and all, and sent his insides spilling into into the icy water.

"Treat others how you want to be treated." Parsnip spat, her voice growing cold and bitter as the man splashed into the shallow water.

"You didn't give me or my friends any mercy, so none of you are going to get any."

Parsnip watched as bubbles came up from the submerged head of the gutted MAVERICK veteran, the clean sea water gradually discoloring with blood.

The bubbles soon stopped however.

Outside of the sound of the small fires burning up and down along the beach, it was silent. And outside of the freshly made corpses with her...Parsnip was alone.

Parsnip took a deep breath, the frigid painfully cold air entering her lungs as she took in the smell of blood, smoke, and gunpowder.

She closed her eyes as she exhaled, slipping the bowie knife she had taken from the man into her backpack.

Looking up and down the beach Parsnip squatted down and sat on the dead MAVERICK Veteran's back.

His corpse acted as a warm seat as she simply sat and took a moment to rest.

The excitement, joy, and relief Parsnip felt as she gazed up and down along the beach was immense.

Yet it was only momentary.

Good feelings rapidly began to fade, replaced with an all too familiar gnawing. Her smile was gone as her eyes began to itch, Parsnip could feel them becoming wet as old memories began to filter into her thoughts.

Looking over her shoulder Parsnip unzipped the dead man's backpack and rooted around inside. Sniffling she pulled out an MRE. Cutting the top off she upturned its contents onto the ice.

Rooting around through the pile of shiny brown plastic, Parsnip eventually found something that returned a small smile to her face.

Tearing the tip of a square packet Parsnip pulled a large, crumbly oatmeal cookie into the frigid air.

Immediately she began taking large bits of the big, slightly chemically tasting but still sweet, cookie.

The snack helped to distract Parsnip from the feeling as she looked out into the distance...and stopped the tower.

"Oooh, what's that?" Parsnip asked herself with a mouth full of cookie.

Forcing the rest into her mouth Parsnip wiped her hands on the dead man's back before standing to her feet.

"Maybe I can find more MAVERICK agents there? Or maybe I can find some new friends?"

Both ideas made the good feelings return and Parsnip began to skip off, away from the scene of carnage on the beach and into the frozen interior...

Unable to dodge in time the butt of the rifle smashed into her face with full force, throwing her off her feet and onto her back.

"Goddamn rabbit! I didn't think that Oh-One would employ biological monsters in its fucked up little plans!"

The MAVERICK Veteran quickly leveled his rifle at the fallen rabbit girl, finger squeezing the trigger when a combat knife was thrown at him. Throwing up his rifle to guard his face the blade pierced the receiver of his rifle, barely stopped even as it skewered his gun.

Quickly throwing his rifle to the ground the MAVERICK agent drew his pistol, dropped to his knees, and buried his pistol into the forehead of the pink-haired girl.

"And here I thought Oh-One was an abomination, Bio-Weapons like you are the real fucking monsters!"

The man's angry voice boomed into the rabbit girl's face as her vision came back into focus and her ears picked up what he was saying.

"Bio...?"

Suddenly the girl was no longer on the beach. She was standing somewhere familiar. Houses burned around her. Smoke and screams filled the air. She couldn't breath. She couldn't see. Loud noises rang out as armored figures shouted out. Through the smoke she saw a group of men approach, weapons in their hands. As they looked at her a single phrase left their mouth.

"Bio-weapon sighted."

With the sound of a trigger being squeezed she was suddenly on the beach again, the MAVERICK Veteran staring into her eyes.

"You--I REMEMBER YOU!!" Parsnip screamed, her face contorting in anger.

The man pulled the trigger but Parsnip's leg slammed into his groin at the last moment. Pain raced through his body and his arm involuntarily spasmed, firing the bullet into the air.

Pulling a butter knife out of the front of her overalls the girl drove the blade into the man's wrist like a scalpel, opening a vein and severing the muscles the allowed him to grip his pistol.

As soon as the gun left his hands the girl began to strike him.

Her punches didn't seem to phase the heavily armored man but her kicks had more then enough power to hurt him, bruising muscle and breaking bones beneath the layer of protective kevlar.

The Veteran tried to fight back, throwing punches and trying to block her blows. However Parsnip's attacks came too quickly for him to anticipate or counter. She had abandoned any use of blades and continued beat the man, screaming as she pounded into his flesh, savoring ever crack and pained cry from the man until he was forced to his knees at the edge of the water.

"Please, stop- I'm sorry! I recognize you now!"

Parsnip threw up her knee and smashed in the man's visor, grabbing the sides of the man's helmet and forcing him to look at her.

"Oh? Its so nice of you to remember little Parsnip Rabbit!"

Parsnip's voice turned sweet and saccharine even as he expression remained twisted with fury.

Pulling the bowie knife from the man's shoulder sheath Parsnip took a moment to examine the blade.

"Why are you doing this? I was just doing my job!"

"Your. Job. Was. Killing. My. Friends!?!" Parsnip shouted, each word punctuated by a separate stab into the man's shoulder blade.

Teeth clenched Parsnip drove the bowie knife into the man's throat and wrenched it downward. With virtually no effort she parted the man's torso, rib cage and all, and sent his insides spilling into into the icy water.

"Treat others how you want to be treated." Parsnip spat, her voice growing cold and bitter as the man splashed into the shallow water.

"You didn't give me or my friends any mercy, so none of you are going to get any."

Parsnip watched as bubbles came up from the submerged head of the gutted MAVERICK veteran, the clean sea water gradually discoloring with blood.

The bubbles soon stopped however.

Outside of the sound of the small fires burning up and down along the beach, it was silent. And outside of the freshly made corpses with her...Parsnip was alone.

Parsnip took a deep breath, the frigid painfully cold air entering her lungs as she took in the smell of blood, smoke, and gunpowder.

She closed her eyes as she exhaled, slipping the bowie knife she had taken from the man into her backpack.

Looking up and down the beach Parsnip squatted down and sat on the dead MAVERICK Veteran's back.

His corpse acted as a warm seat as she simply sat and took a moment to rest.

The excitement, joy, and relief Parsnip felt as she gazed up and down along the beach was immense.

Yet it was only momentary.

Good feelings rapidly began to fade, replaced with an all too familiar gnawing. Her smile was gone as her eyes began to itch, Parsnip could feel them becoming wet as old memories began to filter into her thoughts.

Looking over her shoulder Parsnip unzipped the dead man's backpack and rooted around inside. Sniffling she pulled out an MRE. Cutting the top off she upturned its contents onto the ice.

Rooting around through the pile of shiny brown plastic, Parsnip eventually found something that returned a small smile to her face.

Tearing the tip of a square packet Parsnip pulled a large, crumbly oatmeal cookie into the frigid air.

Immediately she began taking large bits of the big, slightly chemically tasting but still sweet, cookie.

The snack helped to distract Parsnip from the feeling as she looked out into the distance...and stopped the tower.

"Oooh, what's that?" Parsnip asked herself with a mouth full of cookie.

Forcing the rest into her mouth Parsnip wiped her hands on the dead man's back before standing to her feet.

"Maybe I can find more MAVERICK agents there? Or maybe I can find some new friends?"

Both ideas made the good feelings return and Parsnip began to skip off, away from the scene of carnage on the beach and into the frozen interior...
